No i am not an experienced embedded developer

, i think i misinterpret the meaning of "cross-compilation". Cross-compilation seems to me not possible because ARM uses RISC and Intel uses CISC, the binary generated in CISC should not be usable in RISC. please correct me if i am wrong.
if cross compilation is possible, it will be nice because we will want to develop our application under windows environment and just copy to the beagleboard.
I have read your tutorial on setting up cross-compilation in eclipse , but i did not find any section about setting up for an ARM, most of them is for x86 based processors, are you planning to write one tutorial for ARM?
please also help me to get Sven to confirm about the compilation on beagleboard, thanks in advanced
